IMPROVED HORSE-NETTING.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 56,900, dated August 7, 1866 antedated July 5, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that we, JOSEPH GANTNER and MICHAEL ULRICH, of Mlheim, in the county of Centre and Sta-te of Pennsylvania, have in- `'vented a new and Improved Mode of Coustructing Horse Netting; and We do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference bein g had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this speciication i v Figure l being one side of a portion of horse-V `netting constructed in our improved manner;

Fig. 2, a view of the outer side of a piece of one of the straps and portions of the lashes Connected therewith; Fig. 3, a transverse section of oneY of the metallic clasps, with the lashes therein.

Like letters designate corresponding parts in all of the figures.

Let A A represent the straps of horse-nettin g, through which are to be passed the crosslashes B B. Instead of passing each lash up through one hole in the straps, and then down i through another a little distance therefrom, We pass it through only a single hole, a, and then back through the same hole, thereby forming a loop through which a longitudinal lash or cord, C, is run, and holds it rmly in place Without any liability whatever to slip therein. As the lash C passes` through successive lash-loops at ct a it gives the general appearance as in Fig. 1. The other side appears as in Fig. 2.

Not only is this a firmer and more secure The first feature of our improvemeut,as` i above described, prevents anystrain from coming ou the clasps.

What We claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Il. Connecting the lashes B B with the straps A A by means ot' looping through single holes a, and holding them bylocking lashes or cords C, substantially as and for thepurpose herein specified.

2. The metallic clasps D D, in combination with the lashes B B, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

The above speciication of our improved horse-netting signed by us this 11th day of October, 1865.V
